Rue Brennan’s name means “regret” and “sorrow”. And by golly, she’s determined to live up to that name. Living in a tiny studio apartment in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and piecing together odd jobs, her boyfriend, Spencer, thinks she can do better. He convinces Rue to take a job working for cyber forensic consultant and private investigator Darwin Fennec. In an unexpected twist of fate, Darwin and Rue find themselves attending the theater on the same night, each witnessing the murder of a stage actress. The only problem is, they both have become suspects.

After more than 100 years of peace, Erde must prepare for war for the first time in over a century. The only problem is, they don’t know how. Because they are small in number, they are forced to learn and become experts on things they know nothing about - and fast!

At one time, humans lived on many planets, in many solar systems; but now we are endangered and currently live on a single planet...Earth.
